God Please Hear Me
Dear God. They say only
the good die young?
Is this true?
If so, I'm ready to be
in Heaven with you.
Lord, I pray you'll take my
pain away one day.
I need you in my heart,
my life, and soul.
Whenever you are ready,
just take control.
When It's my time,
just free my soul.
I ain't scared to
die cause I know
THERE'S A BETTER
PLACE THAN HERE.
Lord, when it's my time,
please take me there.
Dear God, I know a lot of people
won't understand
until they get to the Holy Land.
But Dear Lord, I will hold
on to your hand
and follow every step
that you have planned.
Father, this I'm sure,
you already know.
BUT WHENEVER YOU NEED ME,
I'M READY TO GO.
